Mr. Egghead – Character Insight
Mr. Egghead is a hard-boiled egg who is alive, can talk, and can walk—a remarkable contradiction to everything we know about hard-boiled eggs. He exists as the living proof of a university science experiment that went spectacularly right.

Character Notes
Mr. Egghead was created by Professor Edelamn in a university laboratory. Despite being an ordinary-looking hard-boiled egg, he is fully conscious, mobile, and articulate. He is cooperative and willing to assist his creator; when Professor Edelamn’s research funding was on the verge of being terminated by Dean Richards and board head Mr. Winslow, Professor Lindley helped rush Mr. Egghead to the Breakfast Club Restaurant. There, Mr. Egghead demonstrated his ability to walk and talk, astonishing Mr. Winslow and successfully preserving the professors’ funding. Because of his physical composition, Mr. Egghead must be careful around intense heat sources like Bunsen burners, as getting too warm will cause him to explode.
